Services Offered
Our comprehensive health coaching services center around the proven Optavia system of Fuelings and Lean & Green meals. We provide one-on-one coaching sessions to help you navigate your weight loss journey and develop sustainable healthy habits. Our program includes access to the Optavia community for additional support and motivation from others on similar journeys. We offer flexible coaching options including in-person meetings, phone consultations, and digital support through the Optavia app. Educational resources help you understand the science behind healthy weight loss and maintenance. We also provide guidance on meal planning, grocery shopping, and dining out while staying on program. Our habit-based approach focuses on small, manageable changes that build upon each other over time. For those who've reached their goal weight, we offer transition coaching to help maintain results through the Optavia maintenance programs.

What to Expect
Your journey starts with a complimentary consultation where we'll discuss your goals, challenges, and lifestyle to determine if Optavia is right for you. Once you decide to move forward, we'll help you select the appropriate program and place your first Fuelings order. During your first week, we'll have frequent contact to ensure you're comfortable with the program and answer any questions. Weekly check-ins help track progress and address challenges as they arise. We'll celebrate your successes and help you navigate obstacles with practical solutions and encouragement. As you approach your goal weight, we'll begin discussing transition strategies to help you maintain your results. Throughout the process, you'll have access to our support community and educational resources to enhance your understanding of healthy living.
Why Choose Optavia
The Optavia system has helped over one million people lose weight and keep it off, with an average weight loss of 12 pounds in the first month. What makes us different is our focus on habit creation rather than just temporary diet changes. Our one-on-one coaching provides the accountability and support that's often missing from other weight loss approaches. We're not just selling products; we're investing in your long-term success and transformation. Our coaches have personal experience with the program and understand the challenges you'll face. The community aspect provides additional motivation and proves you're not alone in this journey. Unlike restrictive diets that leave you hungry and deprived, our approach helps you feel satisfied while losing weight consistently.
Insurance & Pricing
Our health coaching services are typically not covered by insurance as they're considered lifestyle coaching rather than medical treatment. Optavia Fuelings cost approximately $400-450 per month, which often replaces much of your regular grocery budget. When you factor in the elimination of restaurant meals, coffee shop visits, and impulse food purchases, many clients find the program cost-neutral or even save money. We offer various payment options and can help you budget for the program. The coaching component is included at no additional charge when you order Fuelings through us. We believe the investment in your health pays dividends in increased energy, confidence, and reduced healthcare costs over time.
First-Time Patient Tips
Success with Optavia requires commitment to following the program as designed, especially during the initial weight loss phase. Be prepared to meal prep your Lean & Green meals and plan ahead for busy days. Stock your kitchen with approved ingredients and remove tempting foods that might derail your progress. Stay hydrated by drinking at least 64 ounces of water daily. Expect some adjustment period as your body adapts to the new eating schedule and portions. Don't weigh yourself daily; weekly weigh-ins provide more accurate progress tracking. Communicate openly with your coach about challenges you're facing rather than struggling alone. Remember that this is a learning process, and mistakes don't mean failure. Focus on progress, not perfection, and trust the process even during temporary plateaus.
